About the Book
"Today is my wedding day. And I don't know if I'll make it out alive. As I put my beautiful white wedding dress on, I try not to ignore my fears. I look in the mirror and feel more beautiful than I ever have before. I know marrying Sam is the right choice. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I reach for my bright yellow roses, and I force myself to be as cheerful and sunny as those flowers. I won't dwell on everything that's happened recently--ever since we agreed to stay with his parents for the weeks ahead of the wedding. Glancing down at my sparkling engagement ring, I pretend to myself I can forget about the 'accidents' I keep having, that I can't believe are coincidental. Or about his mother's barbed comments, and the dark looks she gives me. And, just for today, while I walk down the aisle towards the man of my dreams, while I say 'I do', I'll try to put the secret I know about the family I am marrying into right out of my mind. Even though that's one secret that--if I was my soon-to-be mother-in-law--I might just kill to keep."--Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
He loves you now. He loved her first.
I've fallen in love with a man called Sam. And he's perfect, just perfect.
It's a whirlwind romance. And when our dream home falls through just before our wedding, we decide to move in with his parents. He says his mother, Evelyn, is the sweetest person. But I'm not so sure.
She's obsessively protective over Sam. She wants to know where he is all the time. She wakes us up in the morning, bustling into our room like he's a small child, not a grown man. She doesn't want me to be alone with him. And with every day that passes - as I keep having accidents I can't believe are coincidental - I start to fear more that she doesn't want me to marry her son.
That she wants to be the only person he will ever love.
Then I overhear an argument between her and Sam's dad. Evelyn has a secret. And it changes everything I thought I knew about the family I'm marrying into.
From that moment, I know that if I want to make it to my wedding day alive, I will need to be very, very careful...
An absolutely thrilling and gripping psychological suspense novel, perfect for fans of Shalini Boland, Shari Lapena, and The Woman in the Window.
